Answer to Question 1

Marginal benefit is the additional benefit received from continuing with an activity.

Answer to Question 2

We must first calculate the opportunity costs of the production of both goods for both nations. The opportunity cost of cotton in Australia is 1/3 of a ton of wheat for each ton of cotton (600 C = 150W). The opportunity cost of cotton in New Zeland is three tons of wheat (200C = 600W). Therefore, Australia enjoys a comparative advantage in the production of cotton. The opportunity cost of wheat in Australia is therefore 1 wheat = 3 tons of cotton. The opportunity cost of wheat in New Zealand is 1 wheat = 1/3 cotton. Therefore, New Zealand enjoys a comparative advantage in the production of wheat.
